    Hi Simon

    Just wondering if anyone knows the ruling on NSW subdivision. We have 670 sqm corner block with existing home at the front of the land. We have been told we are unable to subdivide and sell off the existing home before we build the rear properties to lock up stage. Anyone that can shed some light we would value their input. Sorry new to this wasn't sure where to post. Thank you

    It won’t be NSW statewide ruling but a local government LEP. So which LGA is it in please?

    The Low Rise Medium Housing Density code allows torrens or strata subdivision to be completed by a Private Certifier provided there is a dual occupancy development completed using the same code. Subdivision using the code is more lenient on minimum lot sizes (60% of the minimum lot size mandated by the local LEP). This might be what you've been told. In any case you need to know the LGA's LEP because not only does the code refer to lot sizes mandated by your LEP, it actually may or may not be deferred by the LGA.
